So how exactly would one make these roads "safer". License cart drivers? Retest driver license renewals? Spend millions on a "true study" ?(whatever that is). Personally, I'd like to vote for the county commissioners that say no to this garbage and not try to fix stupidity on the part of drivers by throwing millions away trying to make the world safe. Unless the majority want big brother to run every aspect of their lives.

I hope when you are driving on Morse Blvd. in your Golf Cart north of 466, very safely I might add, a truck does not come veering into you as they speed 45 miles an hour and sway into the cart and bike lane. FYI studies of traffic on county roads do not cost millions of dollars, if one does not know what the facts are one should not just make them up. Also, no one suggested that they wished big brother to run every aspect of one life, but rather government should ensure that roads are safe for all vehicles which travel on them. An example in Lake county, the roads are wider in the Villages on County roads where there are both vehicles and carts on roadways as compared to Sumter county. Stay safe my friend, and look at facts before you write in the future making statements that are not true, such as millions of dollars spent for a study are the safety of current county roadways in The Villages which are multi model.
